Building Inner Bridges- Prayer is the bridge between our conscious and uncon-scious lives. Often there is a large abyss between our thoughts, words, and actions, and the many images that emerge in our daydreams and night dreams. To pray is to connect these two sides of our lives by going to the place where God dwells. Prayer is "soul work" because our souls are those sacred centers where all is one and where God is with us in the most intimate way. Thus, we must pray without ceasing so that we can be-come truly whole and holy. Henri Nouwen

ORAR ES UN PRIVILEGIO La oración es un privilegio. ¿Nos damos cuenta que la oración es un privilegio? Orar es hablar con Di-os: decirle y escucharle. ¿Nos damos cuenta, entonc-es, el privilegio que significa que nosotros simples creaturas podamos dirigirnos a nuestro Creador para pedirle, para rogarle, para decirle cosas … y que El nos escuche? La oración es uno de esos regalos inmensos y utilísi-mos que Dios nos ha dado y que no terminamos de apreciar ni de aprovechar suficientemente. Recordemos, para tener una idea de este privilegio, el riesgo que corrió la Reina Esther cuando se atrevió a presentarse ante su marido, el Rey Asuero de Babilonia para pedirle la vida para sí y para el pueblo de Israel. ¡No podía dirigirse al Rey a menos que éste la solicita-ra! Y del susto, se desmayó ante su Rey. (cf. Est. 15) Y en la actualidad ¿podemos hablar con el Pa-pa? ¿puede alguien lograr hablar con cualquier perso-na que se le ocurra, y de manera instantánea? ¡Y no-sotros podemos dirigirnos a Dios cada vez que quera-mos y de manera instantánea! Ese privilegio lo tene-mos los seres humanos con Dios. La oración es un privilegio.

Encontrando el Perdón Linda es una mujer que tuvo un aborto. Ella escribe: “Mi punto de ruptura con… [mi antigua] Iglesia fue cuando me sentí verdaderamente culpable por lo que había hecho, yo sabia que estaba mal, pero la gente trataba de justificármelo. Yo no necesitaba justifi-cación, yo necesitaba saber cómo reconciliar con el Señor una relación ya fragmentada. Yo lo deseaba…pero estaba muy agobiada y nadie parecía ver la nece-sidad de perdón y reconciliación, al menos hasta que me puse en contacto con la Iglesia Católica. Lo raro es, que tantas personas parecen ver a la Iglesia como sin compasión e indiferente, fue ahí donde yo encontré amor, aceptación, y perdón…”

Esta semana nuestra nación honra el sueño sobre la igualdad de los derechos humanos articulado por el Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. en Enero 22, nosotros también conmemoramos el aniversario de la más atroz violación a los derechos humanos medi-ante la decisión de la Corte Suprema de Roe vs. Wade, la cual permitió la matanza de los niños en el vientre. Durante estos días, los cristianos también observan la Semana de Oración por la Unidad Cristiana. Estos tres temas se entrelazan fuertemente. Nosotros rezamos para que los cristianos se unan en un servicio efectivo a todos los que están privados de sus derechos, y logren una Cultura de Vida, Justicia, y Amor.


REGIONAL NEWS Marriage Minute- This week’s first reading and psalm speak of great rejoicing, of long-suffered sorrow being lifted. They are connected to the Gospel in which Jesus starts his public ministry. We often view joy as an emotion that comes upon us during favorable circumstances, such as winning the lottery. But this is not the way Jesus understood it. Joy is something we cultivate. Jesus’ first message for his first disciples is the first step to growing joy in our lives: repentance. If the idea of repentance doesn’t come to mind when you think of joy, you’re not alone. The connection is for-eign to many of us, yet this is where the “peace on earth” that was promised us a few weeks ago at Christmas starts. Pray this week for the grace to see where you may have hurt your spouse (especially look at what you’re not doing, but should) and then humbly ask forgiveness.
